Pidgin is an innovative payments platform designed to provide financial institutions with secure and efficient transactions. Our main objective is to ensure financial institutions have smart, fast, and safer payments. Pidgin translates the language of faster payments for everyone to achieve a best-in-class experience. Pidgin was developed and rolled out our pilot clients in 2019. In 2022, Pidgin was spun off as we ramped up for the launch of the FedNow Service.

Pidgin distinguishes itself by ensuring that transactions remain within financial institutions, other than external providers allowing for faster and safer transactions. Pidgin has 35 employees globally. We are based in Atlanta, GA, and have team members across the US and India led by our CEO Abhishek Veeraghanta. Pidgin was founded to make instant and real time payments possible for financial institutions and their correspondents to connect as many end-users live as possible and achieve true network effects for faster payments. In addition to being a FedNow Service early adopter and service provider, we’ve built out a strong onboarding process for faster payments channels including The Clearing House’s RTP Network, allowing FIs to get running quickly, efficiently, and entirely based on their operational preferences.
